End of series notice:
Fatdog64 631 is the final version of Fatdog64 600 series. There will be no further work done on the 600 series. Development has moved full-steam to the next generation Fatdog64, the 700 series.

The existing ISO downloads, packages, and contribution packages will be kept online for the foreseeable future.

Thank you for all your support.

For contributors: Many of the existing Fatdog64 SFS-es designed for Fatdog64 600 series will continue to work in the 700 series (e.g, the recent Stellarium SFS from WillM will work on 700 unchanged), so don't worry, your work is not wasted. In fact, I'm quite certain that 631 will still continue to be used for a while even after 700 is released, so please continue to contribute. Thank you.

Kirk and James are pleased to announce the release of Fatdog 630 Final.
This release marks the fourth, and probably last, release of the Fatdog 600 series and comes with a lot of improvements over the last release, Fatdog64-621.

UPDATE: Nvidia drivers uploaded to package repo. There are two of them: standard branch 331.38 and legacy branch 304.119. Please look up here and here to check which driver supports your card. Note: The legacy one is tested and works; the standard one *is not tested* because we lack the hardware capable of running it.

New Features:
* Add Razor-qt-panel.
* Firefox-27.
* Network-Wizard is replaced with Network Setup.
* Fatsort command line utility for correcting the directory entry order on vfat for cheap mp3 players. Usage fatsort -n /dev/mmcblk0p1 makes directory entry order (ls -f) match alphabetical order.
* Multiple sandboxes can run at the same time.
* experimental LXC-based sandboxes (requires lxc pet package from repository)
* add ttyrec 1.0.8 (tty recorder), an enhanced version of "script"
* add htop 1.0.2
* GPT support for Fatdog Installer (only for BIOS systems, not for UEFI!)
* System hardware clock (hwclock) can be configured inn localtime or utc.
* base2ram=expand parameter to expand basesfs before loading in RAM
* Add cpulimit (command line utility to limit cpu usage for a process.)
* Wpa_gui now has a check box for "select any network". If you uncheck this box and want it remembered for next boot, you will need to go to File-Save Configuration.
* Shotcut replaces Avidemux, a much better video editor. Note that there are no effects yet.
* Enable bluetooth daemon by default.

and numerous bug fixes.

The most noticeable changes will probably be the addition of Firefox (Seamonkey is still there too.) and Razor-panel. Razor-panel supports dragging items out of the menu onto the desktop or to the quick launch area of the task bar and is more stable. Fatdog64 got a bit fatter this time too. Now it's about 250MB. The addition of VDPAU for Radeon and Firefox (11MB) accounts for most of the weight gain, the rest is the usual cost of upgrades.

* DO NOT USE GRAPHIC DRIVER PET PACKAGES FROM OLDER VERSIONS OF FATDOG64.* DO NOT REUSE AN OLD SAVE-FILE OR SAVE-DIRECTORY.* DO NOT COMPLAIN IF THIS SOFTWARE CAUSES YOUR DOG TO DIE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY.

OpenSSL/GnuTLS bug:
Thanks to WillM who pointed out that Fatdog *is not affected* because we use an older version of OpenSSL, here.

multi-monitor setup using radeon driver:
There was a bug enabling multi-monitor setup using the radeon driver for certain Radeon chips. It was a kernel bug and open for quite sometime; and is only recently fixed. Here is the bug report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58121. The bug manifest itself by the inability to display laptop panel and VGA output at the same time; and here is the updated module (it is a pet that you need to install): http://www.smokey01.com/jamesbond/fatdog64/radeon-module-3.12.9.pet._________________-= The Fatdog Team (kirk, jamesbond, SFR and step) =-
